today's newborn, cc me please

this little girl refused to sleep for all but about 10 minutes of our 5 hour session. i really don't know how you ladies get your babies to sleep! there must be a secret...aside from white noise, lots of milk, and keeping the room a million degrees. we had planned to do it at 13 days old, but had to do it today at 17 days.

here's probably the best of the day and i know it's far from great. i am using pse 10 and here's my edited version as well as sooc. i want it to look the best it can.

I would crop it slghtly to get rid of the blown part. I think it is lovely and the mum is bound to love it. I know what you mean though about getting someone else to look after your child on your day off, i had the same experience last week. I am sure though that the baby waking up was due to my inexperience at moving her from pose to pose. Also, she still had the cord clamp on, which i think was uncomfortable for her...

I just had an "aha moment" after re-reading your comment Minnie. I think it was pretty much all my fault. I probably could have gotten a lot more in before she woke up if I had been smarter about it. Now I need another baby to practice on! Thanks again to all of you that have helped me on this and that help me everyday (without even knowing it).
